T helper cell dysfunction in ANCA associated vasculitis
2020-01-01
Abstract excerpt
Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) associated vasculitis (AAV) is an autoimmune disease characterised by inflammation of small blood vessels that leads to organ dysfunction. Auto-reactive B cells produce pathogenic antibodies against the neutrophil enzymes, myeloperoxidase (MPO) and proteinase 3 (PR3).
